My dash cracked from the airbag inflating you could've heard it from a mile away i need help i just b9ught my car in december
Power steering failure. hearing clicking noise. service airbag
The service airbag light comes on and goes off quite often. this could cause accident or kill a person if goes off. the power steering starts getting hard to use then makes noise then fine. airbag light doesn't have to be in motion. power steering is in motion. on highway and turning. there is no recalls that i know of for airbags but heard there was. this has been an issue since i bought car 1/27/18 to today
When i was driving on a city street getting read to pick up my sibiling from schooli received a notification on the radio display that said power steering off then it was very difficult to turn my wheel and almost got in an accident. this happened nearby an elementary school. the power steering went off right when i was about to make a turn. also, the air bag for the drivers side has consistently been going off for the past couple of months and i receive alerts through the radio display.
At 6:00 a.m january 11 2018 i arrived at work. i was waiting on a parking space to become available. when one became available i started my car and it immediately said power steering across my radio screen. as i tried to moved into the parking space my steering wheel was very hard to turn. also the service air bag light came on as well.
The air bag is going off and i looked it up and they want lots of money for this problem and it happens in so many malibu's of this year and even more years. i'm just worried it's a safety hazard when i'm driving myself and girlfriend or anyone else for that matter. what if the sensor is bad and it doesn't deploy if needed
2017 the airbag light stopped sensing passenger side and service airbag appeared on screen with the dash light too. repair worked to get sticker in 2017 but did not take (new seat & sensor) can not get a sticker this year with the light on. specialist in wiring said they spent alot of time and consulted dealership and can not find the problem. i am afraid to drive this car or have a passenger ride with me. have spent about 1500.00 trying to fix this issue. light is on all the time with service airbag warning for passenger side. i was told that none of the airbags will work in a collision if the light is on.

Passenger side air bag warning light and sound goes off while car is in motion
Air bag lite or abs lite go on, intermittent. noticed at start up. stationary .cause unknown to me. suspect bcm connector as in recall #14v252000.
tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet malibu. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag needed to be replaced. no further information was available on the specifics of the locations of the air bags that needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown. the vin was not available.
This is issue has been happening since late december and has progressively gotten worse! while driving (whether on highway at 60+ mph or in town doing under 40mph), power steering will go out multiple times; along with fuel gage will consistently show empty. also while driving the airbag indication light will go from airbag on to air bag off several times. the only thing that remedies the power steering going out is to turn the car off and then back on, sometimes more than once. *tr
Takara recall the passenger airbag light on dash has been on for a year. on the radio part it has said service airbag. everyone tells me u can not service it. now the radio says airbag warning and want to off.
This vehicle has a safety design fault where the passenger pressence sensor(pps) defaults causing the airbag light to come on dissabling the whole whole airbag protection system. this car shares the same parts with the 2007 saturn aura whose model has been safety recalled for te pps.
Takata recall airbag senso always on; auto driver side window, sideview mirrors; seatbelt sensor & sound alerts when shouldn't; ac cooling system doesn't get cool; fuel gauge doesn't work & always on low-fuel indicator even when we've filled up; dome light dim; power locks don't work properly - only driver side works sometimes

While driving the check airbag light illuminated on the drivers side. for the next 2,000 miles, the light has repeatedly come on and off. also, the passenger airbag light will come on and off when a person is seated in the chair. i have not had this issue checked out yet, but just from reading reviews online, this seems to be a common problem, with an expensive and not always finite solution. if this is a common problem, there should be a recall issued. *tr

Air bag light comes on and off. put gas in the car and the gauge goes to empty even though i have a full tank of gas. (replaced part in the gas tank a couple of years ago) engine light has stayed on. need to replace 2 sensors in the engine. loud noises when i go over rough roads. i am not sure. after the steering wheel linkage was replaced that is when the noise got louder. *tr
Several times when starting my car my seatbelt light stayed on and chimed. there was a display on my radio that read, service airbag. i checked my manual and read that the air bag doesn't need maintenance service and if the light stayed on, something with the electrical system may be the fault. it suggested that sensor's may be at fault in different area's of the car and to sit upright. i made sure when getting back in my car to sit as far back as possible in the seat. it didn't come on, but has reoccurred several times since the first time. with the recent recalls, i am wondering if this is also under that recall with the ignition and seatbelts. *tr

Problem "service air bag" service air bag light can not be reset. two different code readers used but cannot reset code. presently researching other similar 07 malibu reported air bag system problems, and there seems to be several. also, may be related to front passenger seat belt and/or passenger present sensor. looking for gm recall and/or tsb? will continue to research problem. *tr
The "service air bag warning" comes on. a sensor, located under the front passenger seat, was replaced some months ago. we are having the same problem again. the problem is the same sensor. i have spoken to others with the same model car and some said they had to have the sensor replaced, as well. *tr
Service air bag warning goes on continually. dealer says they will not repair as a safety problem but will charge me over $750 to repair. i feel this should be repaired by gm. have been driving for over a year with this condition. *tr

On june 5, 2013 air bag light came on & i took vehicle in & they checked it. said it was ok & not to put my purse on passenger seat as it was sensing their was a passenger & seat belt was not on. so i left & on june 15, 2013 was driving home & extremely hot air started coming out of vents. it was summer & heat was not on. the service airbag light came on again. i thought the air conditioner had gone out & was blowing out extremely hot air for some reason. never felt such hot air in my life it was almost getting ready to burn something. my dashboard was even hot as fire. got home & turned car off was scared it was getting ready to burn.turned it off & back on & the airbag light went off. then tried air conditioner & it was working fine. on 6-18-2013 took back in to dealer & they assured me it would not catch fire!!! said the next time light came on, bring it in that they may have to pull dashboard. talked to chev. customer service office by chat on internet, talked to a [xxx] & have that transcript printed out. didn't get anything resolved!! i only drive about once a week to go to grocery. so i am terrified to go out of town in the car. if you have any information i would appreciate it. i've been seeing on news a lot of chevs being recalled. i have no idea where to go from here, thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet malibu. the contact stated while driving approximately 5 mph, another vehicle crashed into the front driver's side of the contact's vehicle and pushed the vehicle to crash into the rear of another vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained neck, hip and leg injuries. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed and towed to a body shop. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
I was driving along and heard a loud popping noise and i thought i may have ran over a plastic bottle. i was not driving fast i was on a main street heading towards the ramp to get onto the highway. i later heard clunking noise from the rear of the car. i thought at first maybe it was something in my trunk. knowing i didn't have much in the trunk i looked and didn't find anything that could be making that noise. all week i heard this noise while driving to work. i brought my car to sears & the mechanic took me into their service area to show me that the spring was snapped and that is where the noise was coming from. it was snapped on the bottom half of the spring - rear passenger side. i asked the mechanic how typical was this problem and he told me only a month ago he fixed another malibu with the same problem - but the other malibu had less mileage approx 80,000. i was given an estimate - and it's free of charge to look vehicle over. i went to chevy dealer they want to charge before they look @ the car and if you decide to go with their price they'll apply that amount to your bill. if they don't do the work - your out of that money. how can they do that? also the air bag light will occasionally come on and my fob's are not working - i was told the factory fob's might have to be reset? also an additional charge to look at. thanks chevy - but no thanks! charging your customers to look at a vehicle purchased brand new from your company - shame on you!! *tr
Airbag indicator comes on
That morning about 10:30 am, traffic was slowing during light rainy road conditions on interstate 70, westbound, in st. charles, missouri, when the driver of the car in which i was the only passenger, applied his brakes to slow down and slid into the back of the car in front of us, colliding the front end of the malibu into the rear end of the mazda sedan in front of us, twice impacting the mazda sedan, totaling the chevrolet malibu in which i was the passenger. at no time did any air bags in the malibu deploy. i suffered a torn meniscus in my left knee which remains scarred and periodically painful. the two passengers in the mazda may have been injured, as well. medical attention was required but not at the accident scene. a missouri highway patrol officer was dispatched to the scene. both vehicles were towed. *tr
